Makes sense, is anyone going to send reverts for these?

I'll drop them from my "to review" stable queues, that includes the
following:

	 mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn
	 mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure
	 mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0]
	 lib/ts_bm: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation
	 lib/ts_kmp: fix integer overflow in pattern length calculation

thanks,
